Back in 2014, director Mark Gill took on an unauthorized Morrissey biopic, Steven, chronicling the singer’s life before joining the Smiths. Now, Jack Lowden, who starred in the BBC’s recent War & Peace adaptation, has been cast as its lead actor, Gill’s agent has confirmed (via Deadline). Gill co-wrote the script with William Thacker, with whom he previously collaborated on the Oscar-nominated The Voorman Problem. Producer Orian Williams says the script “looks inside the young mind of Steven Patrick Morrissey and captures a glimpse of what he observed and channelled in order to give us the future music of his thoughts, not only with The Smiths but his solo work as well,” according to Deadline.
